I don't want to hear one more goddamn thing about Bolshevik party "groupthink" as an excuse for communism being bad. Clearly this is a feature of any political party involved in what it perceives to be existential struggle. The Republicans do it, the Democrats do it. A political party in panic will always do it
Huh never realized it but this will be a great lesson in siege mentality if I ever have to explain communist states to people in the future.
"That and fear panic you feel about losing your way of life if Trump takes over? Ya, that's the feel all these AES states feel, and even worse since the US has done it before to other similar states and keeps trying. You can see why they have one party or restrict press freedoms from right-wing or foreign sources or ban politicians who try to start coups now, right? Doesn't seem like such a bad idea now, does it? "
It's always been projection we're the most asininely combative ideology in history. Half the reason Lenin shot everyone was because we couldn't collectively stop arguing long enough to remember to eat and the revolution was starving to death.
